In reply to what is the purpose of life?, posted by obsidian on July 14, 2008, at 21:47:18
To leave the world a bit better off than if I'd never have been born.
To do small acts of kindness.
To love (the verb).
When I think of the purpose of life, I think of my grandma, or a couple of my aunts, and the love they show their families, and the kindnesses they extend to so many. I think of how loved they are in return, and how blessed.
I'm not so good as my grandma, or my aunts. I tend to pursue pleasure a bit more than peace and happiness. I don't know that I'm fulfilling my purpose as well as I should. But I have no doubt whatsoever of what that purpose is.
